I don't see anything grossly incorrect with that particular page linked, but I am always wary of citing anything from either FAIR or CIS (or any other org Tanton is involved in) as, everyone knows, enviros are not at all above outright lies to advance their agenda.
Its funny how the whole immigration issue has made such strange bedfellows. Its very funny to see rabid conservatives cite and praise people who have, in other contexts, advocated for enforced population control measures and worked for the Sierra Club on their population control subcommittee (tho he left when he realized the Sierra Club wasn't radical enough for him.)
There's also a strong argument that Tanton is racist, which would not be surprising as I've yet to meet a really thorough Marxist who isn't also a dyed in the wool racist. Biological determinism does a lot to add credence to racist ideology in that way.
